Assessment of HIV Remission Upon cART Interruption in Early Treated Individuals Carrying the MHC B35/53Bw4TTC2 Genotype
- Conditions
- HIV Infections
- Interventions
- Other: Analytical Treatment Interruption (ATI)
- Registration Number
- NCT05482854
- Lead Sponsor
- ANRS, Emerging Infectious Diseases
- Brief Summary
The aim of the trial is to evaluate in ANRS CO6 PRIMO cohort participants if the presence of the MHC B35 (53) Bw4TTC2 genotype favors the control of HIV infection (defined by a viral load (VL) less than 400 cp/mL) after discontinuation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiated during primary HIV infection.
The trial will be a pilot "proof of concept", one arm, multicenter, nested in the ANRS CO6 PRIMO Cohort, in which the intervention is treatment interruption (of at least 6 months).
It is planned to include between 20 and 50 participants.
- Detailed Description
The ANRS 175 RHIVIERA 01 trial will focus on people who were initiated early and have a particular genotypic profile associated with HIV remission.
The study proposes to test an intervention consisting in a ART-treatment interruption (of at least 6 months) in ANRS CO6 PRIMO cohort participants carrying the MHC B35/53Bw4TTC2 genotype and well controlled on cART.
The study aims to enrol 20-30 participants in 30 French clinical sites. Participants will be enrolled after checking eligibility criteria and will interrupt ART immediatly after inclusion.
Control of HIV-Infection, defined by a viral load less than 400 cp/mL, will be evaluated after 24 weeks of interruption.
Study duration will vary by participant, depending on the time of ART interruption and the time to viral rebound. Participants will be followed maximum 48 weeks on ATI. If there is a viral rebound justifying the resumption of ART, participant will be followed 24 weeks maximum after resumption. The maximum duration of the study will be 48+24 = 72 weeks.

Group Intervention Description Patients treated early and carrying the MHC B35/53Bw4TTC2 Genotype Analytical Treatment Interruption (ATI) Patients included in the ANRS CO6 PRIMO cohort, treated early and carrying the MHC B35/53Bw4TTC2 Genotype
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Proportion of subjects with a Plasma HIV-1 RNA (viral load,VL) below 400 copies/mL at 6 months after Treatment interruption (Week 24). Six months after treatment interruption (Week 24). Proportion of subjects with a Plasma HIV-1 RNA below 400 copies/mL on subjects included at 6 months after Treatment interruption.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Evolution of CD4 to CD8 ratio during ATI and after ART resumption During all ATI period (from Day 0 to Day 0 ART resumption - maximum 48 weeks) and during ART resumption period (maximum 24 Weeks) Measurement of CD4 to CD8 at Screening, Day 0, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16, Week 20, Week 24, Week 36, Week 48, Day 0 ART resumption, Week 4 resumption, Week 12 resumption, Week 24 resumption
